Abstract
A method and system for blending assessment scores for expressing the blended score as a single score while taking into account the non-compensatory nature of each assessment is disclosed. The method includes executing a test of a cognitive characteristic and a separate test of a non-cognitive characteristic. A cognitive test score and a non-cognitive test score are obtained from executing the test. The cognitive score and the non-cognitive score are blended using a non-compensatory blending scheme for outputting a blended score.
Claims20
A blended scoring system comprising:
- a computer implemented test of a cognitive characteristic comprising a cognitive score;
- a computer implemented test of a non-cognitive characteristic comprising a non-cognitive score;
- and
- a score output comprising a non-compensatory blend of the cognitive score and the non-cognitive score.
A computer-assisted method for blending assessment scores comprised of at least one non-cognitive assessment, the computer-assisted method comprising:
- executing a test of a cognitive characteristic and a non-cognitive characteristic;
- obtaining a cognitive test score and a non-cognitive test score corresponding to the test for cognitive characteristics and non-cognitive characteristics;
- blending the cognitive score and the non-cognitive score using a non-compensatory blending scheme;
- and
- outputting a blended score from the non-compensatory blending scheme.
A non-compensatory method for blending assessment scores, comprising:
- executing a computer implemented assessment for independently testing a cognitive characteristic and a non-cognitive characteristic;
- calculating a score for each assessment comprising a cognitive assessment score and a non-cognitive assessment score;
- applying an optimization process to provide a set of interpretive scaling factors to define a set of blend parameters;
- blending the cognitive assessment score and the non-cognitive assessment score based on the set of blend parameters to provide a blended score;
- and
- outputting the blended score.
